Italian Congratulations for a grandmother

I am happy to discover that you are all so excited to get the Whiff of Joy / Elisabeth Bell summer stamp kit. And I can assure you that I was equally excited to play with my very first stamp from the set yesterday :) I will show you the card I made on monday, together with the wonderful Whiff of Joy Design Team (who already produced the most stunning creations). So stay tuned!

Today I want to show you a card I made without using any stamps at all. A close friend asked me to do a card for the grandmother of her husband, who turned 85. I had the perfect paper in my stash from K & Company (Life's journey). It has a beautiful texture and features the most wonderful flowers and colours.

Nonna = grandmother in italian ( I love my online translator ;). I designed it on the computer and cut it with Spellbinders tags trio. "Tanti Auguri" means congratulations, I did it with my Cuttlebug "fancy pants" alphabet. The border is done with a Fiskars punch. I did the corner with a EK Success punch and added a half pearl. The below photo also shows the texture of the paper quite well.

I composed the flowers from several individual items. Prima Flowers, flowers from a Making Memories Blossom and Button jar, little roses sent to me from my friend Jacqui, leaves done with a Martha Steward punch and a SU/Sizzit die.

Ooo this is just gorgeous Katharina!!! What beautiful paper, I love muted colours like that. I also absolutely LOVE what you have done on the envelope it is so stunning!!!! Can't wait to see your card on Monday! Jane x
